GLOBAL

mps PILOT's refined yet hip mix of non-western music is nowadays appreciated way beyond Amsterdam. Besides the famous Amsterdam clubs like Paradiso and the Melkweg, mps PILOT is resident DJ at Spirit / Amsterdam and often guest at Mystic Grooves Utrecht/Amsterdam. For two years he was spinning disks for Que Pasa in the Melkweg and hosted Club Mundial in 013/Tilburg and the Global Nights in the artists' enclave Ruigoord. He has also performed regularly at the Dutch/ Maghreb organisation Marmoucha, and in the Netherlands many times at festivals such as Music Meeting, Dunya, Festival Mundial, Amsterdam Roots, Oerol, Sfinks, Amsterdam Dance Event, Mysteryland, Dancevalley, 5 Days Off, and Lowlands. His overseas DJ trips in 2003 and 2004 brought him to Le Festival au Désert in Essakane, Mali.

With an expressive and convincing execution, mps PILOT is able to let traditional and modern styles from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America flow through each other, forming a contagious sound. While many world music deejays have never heard of 'beatmatching', even perceiving it as deadly for the future of music, mps PILOT elevates 'beatmatching' to a high art form. Weaving drum n' bass rhythms, flamenco palmas, Indian bhangra-or Desi beats and Latin percussion solos into an organic whole. Using a rhythmic, intelligent mix technique, mps PILOT's music functions as a mindopener.
